Judgment

This large warhammer is made from golden metal and adorned with fleur-de-lis. Each time Judgment impacts a target it makes a deep ringing sound, reminiscent of a temple gong.

The hammer is the symbol of office of the Champion of Whitport on the Lodge of the Roses, symbolizing their rightful claim to dispense justice unto the enemies of the League.

Judgment is a weapon designed to uphold law and order. It will not serve a chaotic master, rejecting their attempts to attune to it.
